President Joe Biden was spotted sunbathing on a Delaware beach, and the moment angered some opponents, claiming the moment showed an “unbelievable dereliction of duty.”
The RNC Research X account tweeted: “Biden – who held just one public event this week – is currently relaxing on the beach in Delaware.” They added: “He spent 40% of his entire presidency on vacation… Who runs the country?”
This is a joke! Biden spent 40% of his presidency on vacation while the country fell apart. Inflation, crime, border crisis – who cares? He’s too busy relaxing on the beach.
Unbelievable dereliction of duty. Incompetent leadership. America deserves so much better than…
